In the land of Nostradamus I foresee times of great woe and much undoing....

Hard to believe it but you can fool a lot of the people a lot of the time. Dodgy Dave gets back into the headmaster's office. We shall all be his fags in a trice.
Here in the land of Nostadamus it seems only reasonable that I should put on my Magi's cap and do a spot of divining, however depressed I may be feeling.
I see great woes ahead:

  • Earnings will fall in  real terms.
  • Pensioners will struggle as real inflation climbs.
  • The pound will soar to start with, leading to a Trade Gap crisis.
  • Give it a year or two and we shall have riots in a variety of places.
  • The NHS will cease to be universally free at the point of need within three years.
  • The tax dodgers will be ignored, even encouraged.
  • A pogrom against welfare claimants will begin.
  • Immigration will be heavily curbed and deportation increased.
  • Regressive taxes will rise.
  • House prices will soar along with rents.
  • A new age of Rachmanism will be ushered in (if you cannot remember look it up).
  • Virtually no new affordable houses will be built but mansions will be plentiful.
  • University fees will rise.
  • Grammar schools will come back but all secondary schools will charge tuition fees.
  • Personal debt will soar and the City will get ever richer.
  • The national debt will decline by transferring it to the private sector, feeding a further boom in profits.
  • Fracking in Surrey will cause land slips and a mass fall in the value of property.
  • The British Army will be privatised. The RAF scrapped and the Royal Navy absorbed into a new Coastal Survey Unit. Trident will be handed over to the US officially.
  • A new banking crisis will occur in 2019 and the banks will be bailed out again instead of small investors.
  • An EU referendum will be inconclusive and Dodgy Dave will attempt to quit the EU, leading to a massive run on the pound and the introduction of currency controls (once again!). The Channel Tunnel will be closed due to under-use.
  • Scotland will take the UDI route and  remain in the EU; mass migration into Scotland from the north of England will begin.
  • Wales and Northern Ireland will seek independence and there will be hostilities.
  • The Labour party will flap about for a new leader for years until Nicola Sturgeon moves to England and wins a by-election; she will be elected leader of the Labour Party.
  • No one will remember UKIP or the Lib Dems by 2019.
  • There will be an assassination during 2019 followed by a snap election after a vote of no-confidence.
  • England, the Independent Monarchy of, will become a tax haven ruled from Liberia by a group of Etonians, headed by... yeah, well who else!
